The S&S thoughts: Sincere and Silly. From the beaches of the Hawaiian shores to the Inland Empire of the Southern California landscape, to the high arches of St. Louis to the cultural history of Memphis, to where I call home now, this is my story, thoughts and hopes.

WoW TONO Thoughts

DEFINED ME ...

Some might say that I am off-the-wall, but I am right-on-the-shelf in the library under unique, Made-in-Hawaii, TONO.--July 2004

GOD'S WISDOM ...

I define true wisdom when God is magnified and glorified through His character. I am privileged to play a role with believers and stories where God and His Son is exalted! For God, be the praise and honor!--August 15, 2009

This turns out to be the #1 personal story of 2009, the pictures and the experience. It was a little more than a full week of FUN with my Sunshine. It might have been cloudy on certain days. But she was there to shine the light on the journey.

We thought we'd share the beauty of the Smoky Mountains. It was our third trip there. We circled the Mountains, and drove through part of the Blue Ridge Parkway.
I will work on the story ... the TONO thoughts later in the week ... in between work!

Connecticut “In Search of Colors” time is coming to an end …

I’m
thinking about my vacation with Sunshine, “In Search of Colors,” is ending,
since it’s back to work on Monday.Today
is quiet day of rest since the next two days will be travel days, trying to
visit as much as I can to see what’s in Washington, D.C, and finally making the
final leg back to our hometown.

Yesterday,
we got a lot accomplished.We did get
the oil change on the Toyota Camry completed.The service at this Valvoline in Groton, Connecticut turned out to be an
entertainment visit.Out of all of the
locations I’ve visited the employee, Adam, was one of the most entertaining
technician during the oil change process.

Right
after we drove into Rhode Island.It
ended up to be the short drive to the capital city of Providence.Since we were taking a visit to the Hard Rock
Café in Connecticut, I entered the Foxwoods
Casino.I’m glad that I did because
I discovered that there was an El Pollo Loco in the casino.That ended up being lunch for the day.It wasn’t a happy occasion when I suggested
to my Sunshine that she eat in the car.She lost a plate!Lucky it was
just the flour Tortilla on a plate ended up on the floorboard.

We
thought that we would go through a corn maze in
Middlefield, Connecticut.When we
arrived at the location, the maze wasn’t as “green” as on the Web site.We ended up eating the El Pollo Loco meal
that I purchased from the Foxwoods Casino location on the Lymans Orchard
parking lot.

After
a church service we ate at a local restaurant called Inn at Newtown.It was an interesting dinner.The structure is 200-years old featuring a
long walkway to the restroom.The
building as pictured on its website is typical of the historical buildings that
are all over the Connecticut landscape.The place was not the typical cookie cutter type buildings that most of
the chains structure around for their restaurant.I could feel that this dining experience had
a long history in its architecture.
